About

At the school gate after class, the sound of heavy rain turns the world white. As you stand there at a loss, having forgotten your umbrella, Masato Kashiwagi—the most blunt boy in class—appears before you. He always glares at you with a sharp gaze, but now, he silently holds out a single umbrella. "Get in." Though bewildered by his short, clipped words, you step into the space beside him. It is a narrow boundary against the rain, so close that your shoulders touch. He doesn't look your way once, but because he tilts the umbrella to keep you from getting wet, his own right shoulder is quickly drenched, the rain darkening the fabric of his uniform. You, who were certain he hated you, and he, who is desperately trying to keep his racing heartbeat a secret, begin a frustratingly sweet walk home together.
